Nice
All she needs to do is get cv19 and she'd be freeKeep praying. God loves to help cheaters.
If I could do college again now I would for sure.Parents living their life through their Children = Gross!!
I call BS. The LL legal team is leaking BS info buy LL sympathy and reduced sentence. Those who are OK with what LL did, need to be screwed over by her, then youâll change your tune.
Imagine your kid has spent a good amount of their childhood in rowing practice, training for hopefully a spot on prestigious college team or maybe even a scholarship and if good enough a spot on the Olympic Team. The Olympic prospects in this sport only come from big name schools unlike some other sports. Then the coach of USC which has verbally promised your kid a spot at USC all of a sudden reneges. Your kid is shattered, along with some others kids who lost their shot at attending an affluent school because someone undeserving had more money and influence than you did.
I can already see our Olympic teams being fielded with a bunch of undeserving lackeys looking for spotlight instead of dedicated athletes performing for the honor of representing our country.
This effects all of us, not just the select few who were immediately screwed over. USC though being a private school receives a lot of public tax money from State and the Fed. Letâs face it, anyone who doesnât earn their place will never appreciate or return the investment, time and energy put into them as someone who did.
Where does this begin and where does it stop?
I doubt this is the first or last time LL and others used their wealth and celebrity to influence undue advantage for their children over others.
Itâs only a one time deal if theyâre caught the first time and the punishment is severe enough to prevent future immoral intentions. This is not one of those punishments.
We need to throw the book at white collar criminals. Itâs destroying the moral compass of society. Look at how many people will destroy someoneâs lifetime efforts or savings knowing theyâll only get a few months or few years max prison time for stealing $Millions in blink of an eye that they can hide for their future benefit.
So I ask what is worse, The person who assaults and burglarizes you or the person who steals your kids potential future? or how bout your lifetime savings and retirement? For me I can live with a beating, donât know if someone else would live doing the two latter. Hud.
Iâm glad youâre not effected by this. But I have friends and family whose children have been denied acceptance to USC and other schools because of these scams. So itâs kinda personal.Honestly? I am hard pressed to think of anything that affects me less than her, her kids, Olympic rowing, or what school she paid.
I do find it odd, the outrage against her, while your side is more than willing to turn a blind eye to FAR worse transgressions by people with REAL influence on us all.
Not trying to be combative, just kind of scratching my head over it all.

Agree with what youâre saying but these scams are a small fraction of why kids arenât getting in chosen schools. My youngest had over a 4.0, ASB president, active in multiple charities. No go to his first choices. Schools love of country/state students. Doesnât cost schools more money but they get to charge a shitload more. (Great that our tax dollars subsidize it). The next chunk are filled with âdiverseâ candidates which leaves a few spots for everyone else.Iâm glad youâre not effected by this.

Not sure what you mean by âyour side?â If your talking politics, Iâm an Independent and donât have a side. Just so you know, This issue is not about politics, nor is it about you and I, itâs about right and wrong.

Whatâs that old saying, lifeâs not fair.
Some of you sure seem twisted up about this whole deal.
Yeah and Iâm sure none of the countless star athletes did anything inappropriate to get admitted and a degree
Whatâs the name of the documentary? Iâd like to check it outyall should actually go read what these people did....we are talking non profits, people taking tests for the kids, claiming learning disabilities, paying off coaches at BIGTIME schools with too many athletic programs. Many people lost their jobs because of this and rightfully so. This was criminal activity. Worse than insider trading in my opinion. But seriously go check it out there is a documentary already on how this mastermind figured it all out and ran a massive business on it. Smart man super con artist
You donât think deals and money were paid for some of these athletes to get into college and get through college?Sometimes there is Not an Emoji that
What's your Point?

You asked me a question, I responded. What makes you think Iâm not calm?CALM DOWN!!
Yes I Know..
You asked me a question, I responded. What makes you think Iâm not calm?
Yep, went through it. Not sure what you are up to. I see you use the CALM DOWN response in other threads. Time to ignore.COVID
Why didn't they just pay off the university admissions people instead? Would have saved themselves a lot of problems and probably some $$$'s. Was this rowing thing a way to get a scholarship or just a way into USC. Guessing that the girl couldn't make it with grades or SAT score to be accepted like everyone else.

Itâs likely NO ONE had a spot taken. Coaches are given a few âexemptionsâ for academically challenged athletes. Those were used for LL kids, so to say someone got screwed by not getting into SC is a stretch given that the place would have gone to another academically under performing kid, if there even was one for that year.I call BS. The LL legal team is leaking BS info buy LL sympathy and reduced sentence. Those who are OK with what LL did, need to be screwed over by her, then youâll change your tune.

Why does there have to be a comparative analysis? It's nonsense to try and make an equivalence between what Loughlin did and a strawman about a politician or whatever.
She and her husband broke the law, and they knew that when they paid Singer. What legitimate reason would there have been for them to falsify documents and photographs and hand over $500,000?
They claimed innocence and acted as if they and their daughters were victims, which is just plain horseshit. They used their money to cut in line, and took scholarships away from kids that had worked their asses off for years in the hopes they would be accepted to a university.
Consider the years of training. Getting up at 4 AM, a mom fixing breakfast and driving her kids to the river, the crew taking the shell out of the boathouse on a cold morning, the coxswain and coaches firing up the team with hopes of winning, long drives to events on the other side of the state, staying up late studying and doing homework in hopes of getting the acceptance letter, and all of the other things that made up the hopes and dreams of those hardworking kids.
Those little shitbags lived in Brentwood and made Instagram posts about their new cars and makeup tips while their parents schemed to steal the dreams of those kids that didn't get the scholarships. Then posters say the prison time isn't justified?
Fuck those people. They should be doing two years, not two months.

There are Maximum Security Federal Prisons with legit killers. Dublin is a Minimum Security and a Camp (where you are not behind bars at all).Have any of you ever been inside a federal prison? It sure as hell isn't like any state prison I have been to. I can pretty much tell you that she isn't suffering too bad. Yeah, she is confined, but it surely isn't "hard" time. You can't believe how clean they are. They are like a country club when you are used to playing municipal courses. Night and day. Now, I never want to wind up in jail or prison, but if I did, I would want to do a fed crime to go to the country club.
yep witnessed a lot of stuff firsthand....my pops even more lol....fucker got a car and a credit card from his recruiting daysYeah and Iâm sure none of the countless star athletes did anything inappropriate to get admitted and a degree
i think there is a difference tho....we are making the school tons of money....therefore getting paid for our services....You donât think deals and money were paid for some of these athletes to get into college and get through college?
Thatâs an interesting take. loli think there is a difference tho....we are making the school tons of money....therefore getting paid for our services....
Finally... something in this thread worth talking about!!All Her money and recourses and she couldn't afford some Tits ?
âIf you arenât cheating, you arenât trying.â Houston Astros
Dead on..Maybe I missed the truth to the story. Her kids werenât smart enough to make it to the college she wanted them to go to. So she searched to find the person that can get her kids in, whatever avenue that maybe. In this case, âbuyingâ her kids in?
If you fill up an application and get denied, do you find any other route knowing that you donât qualify? Sorry too many other kids are working way too hard for others to have an easy âoutâ.
